The educational philosophy of Marian Hope Academy is based on the Bible as the sole authority of the contents of our curriculum, for evaluating truth, for determining practices and as the basis of our faith. The purpose of Christian education is to glorify God by teaching children about God, His laws and His love.

The Holy Spirit uses the Word through the entire educational process to cultivate the student’s fellowship with God, to develop a Christian mind within each student, and to instruct the student in Godly living. The Educators and staff must model the life of Christ as revealed in the Bible and develop personal relationships with their students. Students must be taught God’s Word in order to fully know Him, thereby recognizing Him as the only source of truth. These teachings will better equip the student to live and work with others at home, school, church, and in a changing society, thus becoming a committed servant and leader within the body of Christ.

[accordion_toggle title=”Philosophy of Education”]
The educational philosophy of Marian Hope Academy is an extension of our Mission Statement and Statement of Faith.

We believe that the foundation of Christian education is the Bible. “All scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work”.(2 Timothy 3:16-17)

Every child is “a heritage…a gift from the Lord” (Psalm 127:3). We believe that the primary responsibility for education and character development lies with the parents. The school will partner with the home to impress God’s commandments and values upon children’s hearts. “And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart; and you shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up.” (Deut. 6: 5-7)

Our Educators are the embodiment of our school’s beliefs and values. They are spiritually mature, well-qualified people who focus on the whole child. They seek to enhance the development of each student spiritually, intellectually, socially and physically as it says in Luke 2:52. Our Educators live their lives as full time role models to students and their families. “So that you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God” (Col. 1:10).

Our curriculum is academically excellent and honors our Christian heritage. It helps prepare students for higher learning and to impact the world for Christ. “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:19,20).

We believe that God’s promises are true as Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it”.

We believe each child is a unique, special gift of God. He has blessed each of His children with various spiritual gifts, passion, abilities, personalities and experiences. It is the combination of these that will be molded together to live a life of discernment through Christ. There are various learning styles and strengths that each child possesses. It is our hope to tap into each child’s gifts so they can truly become all that God created him/her to be.
